So how will Trump respond when he receives a subpoena?

[milestogo]

Will he testify or defy the rule of law?

[brokephibroke]

1. Plead the 5th

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. He'll defy it

[davekriss]

3. He'll ignore it

The question is, how will the Republican Party then respond.

[we can do it]

4. Hari Kari

[Nevernose]

7. He doesn't have the guts

[we can do it]

9. !

[liberal N proud]

5. He will call it fake

[BigmanPigman]

6. Are they allowed to plead the 5th? This week I was reminded that when Bill Clinton

testified to the Grand Jury he lied so what's to stop @IMPOTUS? He lies more often than telling the truth and can no longer distinguish one from the other.

[Nevernose]

10. He lied, but didn't perjur himself

Big difference. Plus, the rules for pleading the fifth are different for criminal and civil cases.

(Attorneys in the Jones lawsuit stipulated that "sex" meant "vaginal intercourse." So when he was asked, during a deposition and not a grand jury, if he'd had sex with his employee, he was telling the truth legally, although lying in layman'a terms. He probably felt like he hit the lottery when the question was phrased that way)

8. If he's the first president

to get a subpoena he'll be flattered.

"You're getting this because you're Special!"

[flibbitygiblets]

11. Probably the first response will be this

Then we'll be treated to several days of rage-tweeting.

In the end I think he'll take the 5th as only recourse against the "witch hunt". (But it's really a Whiny Little Bitch Hunt.)

[DK504]

13. LOL ... God I hope so. It'll be epic.

[smirkymonkey]

14. LOL! I can never get enough of that gif.

[TexasProgresive]

12. Fake document, SAD

[Wellstone ruled]

15. It will be served on his Lawyer

and then his sorry ass will be scheduled for grilling by his worst enemy. The Special Prosecutor or his appointed agent. This will be the first time as a sworn Individual in a Federal Setting. And that will be in front of 23 of his peers.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

16. He'll plead the 5th, resign, and be pardoned by Pence.

[SHRED]

17. He'll wipe his shart soiled ass with it.

[ProudLib72]

18. I think he'll convert the WH into a bunker

and we'll have a Bundy style standoff. McDonald's and KFC will be delivering via drone.

[PoliticAverse]

19. His lawyer(s) will use as many delaying tactics as they can. n/t

[Bladewire]

20. If subpoenaed Trump will call his followers to rise up

I hate to say it, but I truly believe Trump will do this, this is why he keeps having rallies, they are his army. If just .5% of his redhat followers act on his direction with action, that's a big headache. Trump hates everything America stands for he's a geriatric 71 year old morbidly obese pig that what's to fuck things up as much as possible before he dies

[pnwmom]

21. He'll look for someone to fire.

And then he'll pardon himself, and get the Justice Department to take it to the Supreme Court.

[Mr. Ected]

22. First, his lawyers will argue that precedent protects the President from testifying

That'll delay things a bit.

When the final adjudication determines that Trump is indeed required to testify, his lawyers will advise him strongly to plead the 5th.

He will walk into the GJ chamber alone, without counsel.

He will begin by pleading the 5th to each question. The questions will continue for hours. At some point, he will lose his shit, because Trump always loses his shit. He'll dissemble, lie, deflect, whine, accuse and pout.

And then Mr. Trump is going down. All the way down.

Indictments, impeachment and trial. He will be shorn of his title and stripped of his assets.

He will look like a giant pumpkin, the Orange One in an orange jump suit. A pumpkin in a little cage.

23. Subpoena

He'll think it's an Oscar, and will go into a full blown Norma Desmond.
